FLAMES DREW DEATH
RING AROUND CRIPPLE
Charred Body of Recluse Found
in Poverty-stricken Cam
den House
A legacy of bread crusts and empty
whlaky bottles was the only thing left by
JJorace Hlgglns. The charred body lo on
the kitchen floor of his home, at 1138 Car
.rntr street. Camden.
The Angers of his hands pointed toward
tWo crotches behind the kitchen door. Hlc
rlna had been a cripple for years. Death
bid come, no doubt, as he hobbled toward
the crutches, on which he had hoped to
escape.
A broken lamp globe lay on the floor and
.pear It was the bowl which, held the oil.
(A line of charred wood' extended from the
limp and encircled tho body of Hlgglns.
On the table was a broken pipe and box of
matches which had been upset Soiled
ciihon and a plato with several crusts were
en the table near the pipe.
The mute evidence showed, according to
Detective Painter, (hat Hlgglns had leaned
ever to light his pipe by the lamp flame and
knocked the lamp to the floor. In some
manner 'his clothing- became Ignited. It Is
probable, the police say, that tho man -was
In a stupor and Anally fell to the floor.
As he lay there the flames gradually en
circled the body. The circle narrowed until
It brought death to the prostrate man.
Illgglns was known as a recluse. There
Ij- was nothing but a. broken bed and a few
.wrecKea cnairs in me nouse in wnicn ne
? Jived. Whisky bottles we're piled In many
comers and also on chairs.
The man had worked for the Pennsyl-
;vnla Railroad. When he lost his right leg
'. in an acciuent many years ago me com-
pany gave him the job as messenger, so
u-.ai ne migm eKO oui a living, adoui ien
ayi ago ha disappeared. -.
I The police were searching for him. To
day Itobert Warner, who lived near the
Wrflno house, decided to search the house.
When he opened the kitchen door ha saw
the man's charred body.
Illgglns always had 'a premonition that
some accident would befall him. Some time
aro he gave Wagner a key to his house In
order that he might get In at any time
to see that he was safe.

ATLANTIC CITY, Nov. 10. Malcolm B.
Woodruff, Atlantic City's dandy Chief of

live years of service upon tho political star
of ex-Mayor William Illddle In the spring
battle of factions over the election of n

MRS. DELL'S WILL PROBATED
Two tons of Innocent-looking, Jet-black
coal that proved to be a Jonah were given
away free today at the Majestic l'alace,
motion-picture theater, Kensington avenue
opposite Adams street
The presence of the coal, purchased from
a company that happens to be amicted with
a strike of Its union driver, offended the
"movie" patrons. It wasn't "union" coal. So
they boycotted the "movie."
By a strategic stroke the manager, S. K.
Stanley, turned Impending disaster Into a
popular victory. Men. women and children
with toy express wagons, buckets, wheel
barrows, baskets, baby coaches, sacks and
boxes swarmed to the "movie" today In re
sponse to the following sign displayed In
front:
We bought from M. Wels. 19S1 North
Seventh street, two tons of coal. When
theVoal arrived at the theater we dis
covered that It was Newton coal.
We don't want It.
Friday, November 10, we will gtve
this Newton coal away, nrlng your
baskets and buckets and carry It home.
It was all a mistake, a member of the
striking drivers' union explained. Stanley,
who has been manager of the place only
.two weeks, didn't know the neighborhood
nnd wasn't aware that the agent repre
sented the George B. Newton Coal Com
pany, he said, adding that because the
cinematograph operator Is a union man
tho place Is "O. K."
Estate of $70,000 Is Loft to Former At

Tho J70.000 estate of Fleurette de B. Bell,

Bell, who died nt 22D South Twenty-second
street on September 24, Is left to her hus
band nnd two sons by the will admitted to
probnto today.
Other wills probated were those of Fran
cis Kelly. White Haven, Pa., which, in
private bequests, dispones of an estato val
ued at J100.000; Bernard Kster, G821 Glrard
avenue, $30,745; Kleanor F. Adamson, Oer
mantown avenue nnd Logan street, 125.000;

PREDICTS 'DRY" AMENDMENT
H. M. Chalfant Sees Votes Enough
Ahead in Congress
Now that prohibition has swept Michigan.
South Dakota, Nebraska and Montana and
Utah elected a Governor and Legislature
pledged to close the saloons, bringing the
total of dry States up to twenty-four, Pro
hibitionists are expecting to push through
a national amendment.
II. ,M. Chalfant. editor of the Pennsyl
vania edition of the American Issue, said
today tbat he believed the Webb-Smith-Galllnger-Sheppard
resolution would receive
a sufficient number of votes to win either In
the next Congress or the one following, es
tablishing nation-wide prohibition.

advantages. They withstand the pound

Also they are most easily kept clean.

A Jury
of
Noted Engineers indorse This Car
After a disinterested comparison of the nation's best
motorcars, a jury of notable Philadelphia engineers pro
nounced the new Mitchell the car par excellence. These men
know every detail of automobile construction. They know
Where to look for hidden value, refinement of workmanship
and material which escape the eye of the average buyer but
are to essential to lasting satisfaction. Graceful lines, pretty
paint and fine upholstery cannot fool these men And after
weighing all these things, they placed the stamp of their
approval on the Mitchell. Their verdict means much to the
automibile buyer who thinks.

"MURPHY MUST QO"
Wilson May Ask Tammany Chief's
Hed for Loss of Votes
NBW TOnK. Nov. 10. "Murphy must
go." shouted from the White House, Is the
expectation of Independent Democrats and
tho rear or Tammany leaders who have
followed the b;g chief through thick and
thin.
That President Wilson will take action
for Tammany's failure at the polls on Tues
day Is the belief of all politicians. And
that the form the action would take would
be a demand for the big chief's head was
the expressed belief of leaders among the
Independent Democrats.
